It should be noted that, in the application control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the execution main body may be an electronic device, or a Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the electronic device, or a control module in the electronic device for executing the application control method. In the embodiment of the present invention, an application control method executed by an electronic device is taken as an example to describe the application control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention.
The electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention may be an electronic device having an operating system. The operating system may be an Android (Android) operating system, an ios operating system, or other possible operating systems, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited in particular.
The following describes a software environment applied by the application control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, taking an android operating system as an example.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a possible android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, which are respectively: an application layer, an application framework layer, a system runtime layer, and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).
The application program layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an android operating system.
The application framework layer is a framework of the application, and a developer can develop some applications based on the application framework layer under the condition of observing the development principle of the framework of the application. For example, applications such as a system setup application, a system chat application, and a system camera application. And the third-party setting application, the third-party camera application, the third-party chatting application and other application programs.
The system runtime layer includes libraries (also called system libraries) and android operating system runtime environments. The library mainly provides various resources required by the android operating system. The android operating system running environment is used for providing a software environment for the android operating system.
The kernel layer is an operating system layer of an android operating system and belongs to the bottommost layer of an android operating system software layer. The kernel layer provides kernel system services and hardware-related drivers for the android operating system based on the Linux kernel.
Taking an android operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the application control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the android operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the application control method may operate based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. Namely, the processor or the electronic device can implement the application control method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.
The following describes in detail an application control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention with reference to a flowchart of the application control method shown in fig. 2. Wherein, although the logical order of the application control methods provided by embodiments of the present invention is shown in method flow diagrams, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in an order different than here. For example, the application control method illustrated in fig. 2 may include S201 to S203:
s201, the electronic equipment receives first input of the N application icons.
Wherein N is a positive integer.
In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment receives first input of N application icons from a user in a scene of displaying a desktop, namely displaying each application icon through the desktop. I.e. N application icons are displayed in the desktop of the electronic device.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, N application icons are displayed in one or more pages in the desktop.
When the N application icons are displayed in the multiple pages of the desktop, a user can trigger the electronic equipment to turn pages and display the multiple pages, so that the corresponding application icon in each page of the multiple pages is selected, and the N application icons are further selected.
S202, responding to the first input, and judging whether the running time of each application in the N applications reaches the corresponding limit time or not by the electronic equipment in a first preset time period.
Wherein different ones of the N application icons indicate different ones of the N applications; each of the N applications has a limited duration; the limiting time length of each application is used for representing the maximum value of the time length for allowing the corresponding application to run in each preset time period; the limit duration of each application is set in advance or by an input to a corresponding application icon. The first preset time period is a preset time period of the current moment or a preset time period after the current moment. For example, the first preset time period is the time of day at the current moment.
In the embodiment of the present invention, a preset time period may be one day or one week, and certainly, other arbitrary time periods may also be provided, for example, a preset time period is two days, which may be determined according to actual requirements of a user, and details are not described here. In the following embodiments, a preset time period is taken as an example for a day.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the preset limiting durations of the electronic device for different applications may be the same or different. Illustratively, the preset limiting duration of each of the N applications by the electronic device is 60 minutes.
It is understood that, in a case that a user actually uses an application for a long time within a preset time period (e.g., a first preset time period), the user may overuse the application, for example, the user may overuse a game application or use a chat application. At this time, the user may need to limit the use of the application, i.e., set and enable a limit duration of the application.
Optionally, the electronic device may set the time limit for each application according to the historical operating time of each application in one or more preset time periods (e.g., one or more previous days). For example, in the case where multiple historical operating periods of an application (e.g., a game application or a chat application) are long, the user may trigger the electronic device to set a value less than the historical operating periods as the limit period of the application.
S203, in a first preset time period, under the condition that the running duration of the first application reaches the limit duration of the first application, the electronic equipment closes the first application.
The first application is any application of the N applications.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, in a first preset time period, if the running duration of the first application reaches the limit duration of the first application, the electronic device may display the first prompt information first, and after the user inputs the first determination button in the first prompt information, the electronic device closes the first application. On the contrary, if the user inputs the second cancel button in the first prompt message, the electronic device will not close the first application. For example, the first prompt message may include the text message "you use the first application for too long today, and whether to restrict the use of the first application", as well as the first ok button and the first cancel button described above.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the first preset time period, if the running duration of the first application reaches the limit duration of the first application, the electronic device may directly close the first application. Subsequently, when the user triggers the electronic device to open the first application, for example, clicks an application icon of the first application, the electronic device may display the second prompt message. Correspondingly, after the user inputs the second determination button in the second prompt message, the electronic device may reopen the first application. For example, the second prompt message may include a text message "the first application has restricted use, whether to reopen the first application", and the second determination button described above.
Optionally, the input of the user to the second determination button may include authentication information of the user, and the electronic device may authenticate the authentication information, that is, authenticate the input. For example, when the user presses the second determination button, the electronic device may acquire fingerprint information of the user and authenticate the fingerprint information; and under the condition that the fingerprint information is successfully authenticated, the electronic equipment can restart the first application. Thus, the reliability of the electronic equipment for limiting the application can be improved.
Optionally, the authentication mode of the electronic device for the input on the second determination button includes, but is not limited to, the above fingerprint information authentication mode, and may also be any other available authentication mode, which is not described herein again.
It can be understood that the authentication information that is successfully authenticated can be set for a user (such as a parent) using the electronic device, and the child cannot input the authentication information, so that the child can be effectively prevented from overusing applications such as a game application or a chat application.
It should be noted that, the application control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may support presetting of the limited duration of each application in the electronic device, or setting of the limited duration of each application through input of an application icon by a user, where the limited duration of each application is used to indicate a maximum value of a duration that the corresponding application is allowed to run in each preset time period. In this way, through the first input of the N application icons, in a first preset time period, it can be started to judge whether the running time of each application in the N applications reaches the corresponding limit time; furthermore, the first application reaching the limit duration may be closed within a first preset time period to limit overuse of the first application. That is, the user can input one or more application icons on the desktop of the electronic device, and trigger the electronic device to set and enable the applications quickly and in batches for a limited duration so as to limit the running of the applications. The user does not need to control the electronic equipment to open the setting application first, then the identification of each application is input in the setting application respectively so as to set the limit duration of each application respectively, and then the electronic equipment is triggered in the setting application to limit the running of each application through each limit duration. In this way, the operation steps of the user for controlling the electronic equipment to limit the application are simplified, and the time consumption is reduced.
Optionally, in the application control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the first input may include a plurality of sub inputs, such as a first sub input, a second sub input, and a third sub input. Illustratively, in conjunction with fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4, the above S202 may be implemented by S202a-S202 c:
s202a, responding to the first sub-input of the N application icons, and selecting the N application icons by the electronic equipment.
Illustratively, the first sub-input may be a user sliding input from left to right for the N application icons. For example, the N application icons are a plurality of application icons arranged adjacent to each other in pairs, and the first sub-input may be a sliding input of the user to the plurality of application icons in succession from left to right.
Specifically, the first sub-input may be used to select an application icon corresponding to an application to be limited by the limited duration.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may provide an icon selection box and the like for selecting an application icon corresponding to an application to be limited by the limited duration. In particular, the icon selection box may be a control that is displayed on the desktop of the electronic device prior to the user selecting the N application icons.
Optionally, the user may first trigger the application icon in the desktop of the electronic device to be in the state of setting the limited duration, then select the N application icons and trigger to start to limit the running of the corresponding application in the N applications through each limited duration. For example, the first input further includes a fourth sub-input for triggering an application icon in a desktop of the electronic device to be in a state of setting a limited duration. At this time, before S202a in S202 described above, the electronic device may control the application icon in the electronic device to be in a state in which the restriction time period is set in response to the fourth sub-input.
Optionally, the application icon in the state of setting the limited duration may be displayed according to a preset effect, such as a shaking display.
S202b, in response to the second sub-input of the K application icons in the N application icons, the electronic equipment updates the limited duration of each application in the K applications corresponding to the K application icons.
Wherein K is a positive integer less than or equal to N. That is, the K application icons are part or all of the N application icons, that is, the K applications are part or all of the N applications.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may update an applied time limit by using a preset difference (e.g., 20 minutes) as a gradient. For example, the electronic device may increase or decrease the time limit duration of the application by one or more preset differences.
Optionally, one input of an application icon by the user may trigger the electronic device to increase or decrease the limit duration of the corresponding application according to a preset difference. Specifically, the input form of the electronic device for triggering the input of one application icon to increase the limit duration of the corresponding application is different from the input form of the electronic device for triggering the input of one application icon to decrease the limit duration of the corresponding application, for example, the two inputs are sliding inputs with different sliding directions.
Illustratively, the N applications include application 1 to application 6, i.e., N is 6; the K applications include application 1 and application 2, i.e., K is 2. For example, icons of the applications 1 to 6 are displayed on one page in the desktop of the electronic device. When the electronic equipment responds to the first sub-input and selects the applications 1 to 6, the limiting time lengths of the applications 1 to 6 are all the limiting time lengths of 60 minutes preset by the electronic equipment. Subsequently, the user may input the application icon of the application 1 twice in the second sub-input, and may trigger the electronic device to update the limited duration of the application 1 to 20 minutes; one input of the user to the application icon of the application 2 in the second sub-input may trigger the electronic device to update the limited duration of the application 2 to 80 minutes.
S202c, responding to the third sub-input, and within the first preset time period, the electronic equipment judges whether the running time length of each application in the N applications reaches the corresponding limit time length.
Optionally, the third sub-input may be an input that the user triggers the application icon to exit from the state in which the limit duration is set.
For example, the electronic device may provide a control for triggering the electronic device to enable the limited duration of the application corresponding to the selected application icon on the desktop, and the third sub-input may be an input of the control by the user. Alternatively, the third sub-input may be a user input to a free area on the desktop, such as a double-click input or a triple-click input.
According to the application control method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment supports the user to operate N application icons through multiple sub-inputs, so that the electronic equipment sets and enables the limited duration of N applications, and the controllability of the electronic equipment for limiting the applications is improved.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may provide one or more controls to support the user to select the N application icons through the first sub-input, and to support the user to perform the second sub-input on K application icons in the N application icons. Illustratively, the first sub-input is an input of selecting N application icons through the icon selection box; the second sub-input is sliding input on each application icon in the K application icons through a floating ball control; the sliding input along the first direction on one application icon in the second sub-input is used for triggering and increasing the limit duration of the corresponding application, the sliding input along the second direction on one application icon in the second sub-input is used for triggering and decreasing the limit duration of the corresponding application, and the first direction and the second direction are different directions.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may continuously display the hover ball control on the desktop, and the hover ball control is used to trigger the electronic device to control the application icon in the desktop to be in a state where the limited duration is set. Specifically, when the electronic device normally displays the application icon on the desktop, an input to the hovel control (i.e., the fourth sub-input, such as a long press input) may trigger the application icon in the desktop to be in a state where the limited duration is set, and display the icon selection box on the desktop.
Further, optionally, the fourth sub-input may input authentication information of a user to the electronic device, and after the authentication information is successfully authenticated by the electronic device, the electronic device may trigger the application icon in the desktop to be in a state of setting a time limit, and display an icon selection box on the desktop. Otherwise, if the authentication of the electronic device to the authentication information fails, the application icon in the desktop cannot be triggered to be in the state of setting the limited duration, and the icon selection box cannot be displayed on the desktop.
Optionally, the first sub-input of the user may be an input for adjusting the shape and size of the icon display frame, so as to display, through the icon, the application to be enabled for the limited duration in the selection, that is, select the N application icons through the icon display frame.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the icon selection frame may be any one of a rectangle, a circle, and a user-defined shape, and is determined according to an actual requirement of a user, which is not specifically limited herein.
It will be appreciated that the user's second sub-input to the hover ball control may be an input in the icon selection box.
For example, the first direction may be an upward direction with respect to the application icon, and the second direction may be a downward direction with respect to the application icon.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, when K is equal to N, the second sub-input may be a sliding input on the K application icons as a whole. For example, an upward sliding input on K application icons may trigger the electronic device to increase the time limit for each of the K applications by one of the preset differences; conversely, a downward sliding input on the K application icons may trigger the electronic device to decrease the time limit for each of the K applications by one of the preset differences.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, when K is smaller than N, the second sub-input includes a sliding input on each of the K application icons. For example, an upward sliding input on an application icon may trigger the electronic device to increase the time limit of the application by one of the preset differences; conversely, a downward sliding input on an application icon may trigger the electronic device to decrease the time limit for the application by the predetermined difference.
Further, optionally, the third sub-input may input authentication information of the user to the electronic device, and after the electronic device successfully authenticates the authentication information, the electronic device may trigger the application icon in the desktop to exit from the state in which the limited duration is set, and enable the limited duration of each application in the N applications. Otherwise, if the electronic device fails to authenticate the authentication information, the limited duration of each application in the N applications is not enabled.
Therefore, the user can conveniently and visually set and enable the limited duration of each application through the icon selection frame and the floating ball control provided by the electronic equipment.
Optionally, the application control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S204 or S205 after the above S202, for example, after the above S202 and before the S203, the application control method may further include S204 or S205:
s204, the electronic equipment updates the limit duration of the second application according to the running duration of the second application.
Wherein the second application is an application in the electronic device.
Of course, the electronic device may perform the relevant steps performed with the second application for any of the N applications.
It is understood that, as the second application runs, if the user reduces the duration of using the second application within one or more preset time periods, that is, reduces the running duration of the second application, the electronic device may suitably reduce the limit duration of the second application. Conversely, if the user increases the duration of using the second application within one or more preset time periods, that is, increases the running duration of the second application, the electronic device may suitably increase the limit duration of the second application.
Optionally, in implementation 1, S204 may be implemented by S204a and S204 b:
s204a, the electronic equipment increases the limit time length of the second application under the condition that the running time length of the second application meets the first condition.
Wherein the first condition is: the first time length of the second application is within the first time length range, and an absolute value of a difference between the first time length and the second time length is less than or equal to a first value. Specifically, the absolute value of the difference between the first duration and the second duration is less than or equal to the first value, which indicates that the first duration of the second application is slightly longer than the second duration, or the first duration and the second duration are closer. The specific value of the first value may be determined according to the actual requirement of the user, and is not specifically limited herein.
Specifically, the first duration is the operation duration of the second application in a second preset time period, the first duration range is the duration range indicated by the predefined middle part in the curve of the normal distribution, and the second duration range is the duration range indicated by the curve of the normal distribution except for the first duration range; the second time length is an average value of the running time lengths of all the applications in the electronic equipment within a second preset time period; the second preset time period includes one or more preset time periods that are consecutive before the current time.
The second preset time period may be one or more preset time periods before the current time, such as the time of one or more days before.
It should be noted that the electronic device may obtain information of the running time length of each application, the average running time length of all applications, the running time axis of each application, and the like in the second preset time period, so as to determine the real-time running time length of each application (for example, the second application) according to the information. Therefore, the reasonable and accurate limiting duration of each application can be set in real time by the electronic equipment, and the effect of limiting the application is improved.
Specifically, the operation time length of the application in the electronic device follows a normal distribution. For example, the operation duration of the application in the previous preset time period of the current time follows normal distribution, or the average operation duration of the application in the previous preset time periods of the current time follows normal distribution.
For example, in a curve in which the operation time periods of the applications are normally distributed, the X-axis represents a preset operation time period (e.g., 20 minutes, 40 minutes, 60 minutes, etc.), and the X-axis represents a variance (or standard deviation) between the actual operation time period of each application and the average operation time period of all the applications (i.e., the second time period). Specifically, the average running time of all applications may be within a time range indicated by a predefined middle portion in the normal distribution curve, for example, the predefined middle portion is the middle P% of the curve, and the value of 9 may be determined according to the actual requirement of the user, for example, 50. For example, the first time length range mentioned above is the time length range indicated by the middle P% of the curve. Accordingly, the second duration range may be a range of L% (e.g., L takes a value of 50) on both sides of the curve except for the middle P%.
Specifically, for the first condition: the usage durations of all applications of the electronic device may be concentrated in a certain time region, such as the first duration range mentioned above, and when the first duration of the second application is longer than the second duration, it indicates that the user has a high demand for the usage of the second application. At this time, the electronic device may increase the limiting time period of the second application appropriately, for example, by a preset difference.
S204b, the electronic device reduces the limit time length of the second application under the condition that the running time length of the second application meets the second condition.
The second condition is: the first time length of the second application is within the second time length range, the difference value between the first time length and the second time length is larger than a second value, and the second value is larger than the first value. Specifically, the difference between the first duration and the second duration is greater than the second value, which indicates that the first duration of the second application is much greater than the second duration. The specific value of the second value may be determined according to the actual requirement of the user, and is not specifically limited herein.
Similarly, for the second condition described above: if the second application use duration is within the second duration range (also in the range of L% on both sides of the above-mentioned normal distribution curve), and the second application use duration is far longer than the second duration, that is, the standard deviation between the second application use duration and the second duration is larger and larger, it indicates that the user's demand for use of the second application is lower. At this time, the electronic device may appropriately decrease the limiting time period of the second application, for example, by a preset difference.
In this way, the electronic device may appropriately adjust the operation durations of the applications in real time by using the normal distribution of the operation durations of the applications, that is, by using the range (determined according to the standard deviation) in which the operation durations of the applications deviate from the second duration.
Optionally, in implementation 2, S204 may be implemented by S204c and S204 d:
s204c, the electronic device increases the limit time length of the second application under the condition that the running time length of the second application meets the third condition.
Wherein the third condition is: the operation time of the second application in the same M first time periods is less than the preset time, different first time periods in the M first time periods are located in different preset time periods in the continuous M preset time periods, M is a positive integer, and if M is 3.
S204d, the electronic device reduces the limit time length of the second application under the condition that the running time length of the second application meets the fourth condition.
Wherein the fourth condition is: the running time of the second application in the same M first time periods is greater than or equal to the preset time.
For example, the preset time duration may be the second time duration or a limit time duration of the current second application.
For example, the M preset time periods are M days of the current time. The first time period is a time period of 8 to 12 am per day. I.e. the third condition indicates that the user uses the second application for a shorter duration of time in the period of 8 to 12 am for a number of consecutive days, the current second application may be limited in duration. At this time, the electronic device may suitably increase the limit time period of the second application, for example, by a preset difference.
Similarly, the running time of the second application satisfies the fourth condition, and the user uses the second application continuously for a long time in the time period of 8 to 12 am for a plurality of consecutive days, so the limit time of the second application may be long, and the user may overuse the second application. At this time, the electronic device may appropriately reduce the limit time period of the second application, such as by one or more preset differences.
S205, the electronic device stops judging whether the running time of each application in the N applications reaches the corresponding limit time within a first preset time period according to the running time of the second application.
Wherein the second application is an application in the electronic device.
It is understood that, in the case that the usage time period of the second application by the user is small, that is, the usage requirement of the second application by the user is small, the electronic device may not limit the operation of the second application, so that the limited time period of the second application may be deactivated.
Optionally, in the implementation mode 2, the S205 may be implemented by S205 a:
s205a, when the operation duration of the second application satisfies the fifth condition, the electronic device stops determining whether the operation duration of each of the N applications reaches the corresponding time limit duration within the first preset time period.
Wherein the fifth condition is: the second application operates for a duration less than the preset duration for a first time period within a last preset time period (e.g., the previous day) prior to the current time.
Specifically, the running time of the second application satisfies the fifth condition, which indicates that the limited time of the second application can be deactivated when the user has a small demand for the use of the second application. Therefore, the flexibility of the electronic equipment for limiting the application can be improved, and one application can normally run without limitation.
